Justin Timberlake seemingly makes joke about his DWI arrest at Boston concert – as he continues world tour following controversy
Justin Timberlake has been under scrutiny ever since his DWI arrest less than two weeks ago, but the singer appears to now be making light of the legal controversy.
During his concert in Boston on Saturday, the embattled singer, 43, seemingly cracked a joke about the arrest.
In video posted on social media, Justin could be seen asking the crowd: ‘Is there anyone here tonight that is driving… nah, just kidding!’ The crowd quickly reacted with cheers and laughter.
The joke comes just 11 days after Justin was arrested for DWI in The Hamptons.
Meanwhile, last week it was reported that The Social Network star and his wife, Jessica Biel, have moved past the incident.

‘They’ve moved on from the arrest. They have faith in their legal team and continue to focus on work and their family instead,’ a source told People.
The former boy bander has not let the arrest stop him from continuing on with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. He returned to the stage for the first time since the arrest in Chicago last week.
Jessica, 42, was also seen attending his Madison Square Garden show on Tuesday, dancing in the audience.
‘They’re always supportive of each other’s careers,’ the insider said.
‘Jess would never miss a show when she’s able to attend,’ the source added. ‘She’s excited for him.’
The Cry Me A River singer also shared video of his wife and team taking part in a ‘Swedish candy taste test’ while backstage on Wednesday.
But many fans weren’t delighted by whimsical display in the comments, and they blasted the embattled NSYNC member for allegedly trying to distract from the aftermath of his DWI arrest earlier this month.
‘You’re a real one for not shutting off your comments lol,’ wrote one person, though many of the negative comments were quickly pushed down by positive comments that didn’t reference the controversy at all.
